The original rear struts on my Camry failed badly suddenly at 210k miles. Fine one day, grossly bad the next. They were like those old Monroe commercials, where the back end would bounce freely up & down like a pogo stick. It was dangerous, but not like failed-brakes-dangerous.
The original front struts I replaced @ 305k miles. They weren't leaking oil or showing any obvious signs of being bad. But the handling was a bit "nervous" going over ripply pavement at freeway speeds. When I got them out, they were still holding their gas charge! After replacing them (with KYBs), I definitely could notice the improvement, but the old ones weren't even close to being what I'd call dangerous, like the rears were.
